I didn't think SO's mom was so....what's the word???...off...crazy...mental until LO was born. She corrected me when I told my baby to say hi grandma and instead wants my child to call her mom...ummm no I am her mother, not you. I carried this baby for 40weeks 5days, gained 60lbs (yes 60lbs despite exercise and healthy eating), I have the stretch marks and kangaroo pouch to show for it.. 1st she wishes to nurse my baby and now she's wants to be called mom.... I think she's plotting my demise and wants to take my kid. But seriously, I don't think normal or average grandma's do the above, correct me if I'm wrong.

I've been trying to get along with her but dammit she makes it hard. She got offended when I went to an empty room to nurse and thought I was trying to take LO away from her....-__- I'm not comfortable with nursing in front of SO's dad or your friends who are over when we come to visit. And nursing with a blanket to cover up makes baby fussy, the whole feeding process just takes longer and isn't enjoyable. I am not trying to hurt you by feeding LO in a different room. It is not about you, I am just trying to feed my baby. And reasons like this are why I dread visiting SO's parents. *sigh there were no warning signs of her wacky behavior. I didn't see this coming.

KurlyKae- Yes she made a comment once when I was feeding LO that if she could still produce milk she wouldn't mind feeding my baby. At first I was thinking some things she did and would say was just cultural differences but no it can't be, it's just way too wacky and out there. I also found out that she wanted more children. She has 2 and miscarried a 3rd child long ago and was told that she couldn't have anymore kids. That fact only increases my fear that she wants to raise my baby.

I don't want her to babysit, the very thought makes me nervous. I am so tired of "offending" or "hurting" her by just taking care of my daughter's needs. It just doesn't make sense. I'm glad they live 3hrs away but I still feel that I see them a lot.

What this kind of made me think of- my cousin's son's grandparents are all really young, none older than 70, and his great-grandparents (my grandparents) are alive on one side, so he calls his great grandparents grandpa and grandma in Russian all of his actual grandparents by their first names.

He's also been freaking out a little over his little brother who's coming in about a month.

I honestly find it surprising that Starbucks doesn't allow its employees to have facial piercings.

Obviously, facial piercings are still a no-no in a lot of places... But it still seems kind of dumb.

When I worked for Starbucks that is what they told me (well not as fancy, just that it could fall in the beverages).

Now I work for a big beef producer here in Canada and it's the same reason. And for that reason, it makes sense. If you can't take it out, you can't be in the plant.

Am I the only one here who thinks she's working class? Sure I'm educated and have a professional job but there is no way I am middle class. Maybe upper working class at a push.

You're supposed to be speaking English. Or that is your intention, is it not? Then it is a crying shame that subtitles are needed to understand you! Your whole family is a train wreck, which is of course exactly why you have a TV show. Sigh...

Then when I run my left hip will sometimes ache, after I run, like my cool down.

AND MY STOMACH IS STILL having hunger pains. I took tums, don't know why. Maybe the pain will go away.
